    Asus RT N66U PPTP VPN Client won't allow connection to VPN network - DNS problem?

    Hi there, I'm a little lost. I'm using the RT N66U as a secondary router to connect to a VPN for an Amazon Fire stick. I was using the same model for years when it died. For several reasons, I've got a spare of the same router I've started setting it up and I'm having problems with setting up...

    WAN DNS (DNS Server vs DoT)

    Looking at the WAN page, I understand I can assign the DNS instead of just getting it from my ISP. My question is how does this work with selecting "DNS-Over-TLS" under "DNS Privacy Protocol"? It would seem that these settings would compete with each other? Thanks.

    Should I specify the DNS Servers?

    Hi All, I have an Asus ZenWifi XT8 router and can set the DNS servers. I've never done this before. Should I specify the DNS servers to be a little safer? If so, should I just use Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 or something else? Anything else I don't even know to ask? Thanks so much!

    AdGuardHome AdGuard blocked local domain queries

    Today I had an issue with AdGuard where it was blocking queries for local domain hosts. When I checked the dashboard, I noticed many blocks for local queries and they all pointed to the EasyList list. AdGuard reported a block with rule ||o. So, I tried to open EasyList and see if it had...

    ZenWifi XT8 custom DNS for Guest network

    Haven't found any answers to this out there, but is it possible to assign a custom DNS setting to a Guest network on the ZenWifi XT8 router? The only place I see where a custom DNS can be set is under the WAN setting, but this is global, meaning it affects all the networks. I don't see a...

    Redirect DNS queries

    I have recently setup a RT-AX82U running the stock firmware. I have setup the router to use cloudflare for DNS and I would like to force all clients on the network to use the router’s DNS setting, regardless of any settings made on the client devices. Initially I created firewall rules to drop...

    How to set up DSL-AC68U without its DHCP server running?

    I have a DSL-AC68U which I want to configure (initially at least) without its DHCP server running but there seems to be no way to set the default gateway and the DNS server to use. I've set them in the DHCP Server settings but since the DHCP server isn't running I don't think the settings are...

    WAN DNS Selection doesn't change DNS severs

    So I noticed that one of the latest updates has added a WAN selection pane which is very useful. However when I selection an option and hit 'Apply' it reconnects to my ISP but then just continues to use the ISP provided DNS servers on both the WAN overview & my devices. Any idea why this would...

    How do I block certain devices from accessing Google DNS?

    I am currently using the XT-8 on the most recent firmware - they have an option to block access to Google DNS using the static route list - my question is how do I just block certain devices and not the entire network from using Google DNS, is it possible?

    Anyone using DOH3 or DOQ for DNS-queries on ASUS Merlin?

    I'm curious if anyone have setup DOH3 or DOQ successfully on an ASUS Merlin router for DNS-queries? So far I haven't seen any solution/add-on to do it on router-level. Any thoughts/plans on adding it native in the future like DoT is today or as an add-on in AMTM? I read that some use the...

    Irregular DNS, Name lookup, Dual PiHole??

    OK sorry but I'm a bit green to this. I've got a DSL-68U (with Gnuton) and AC-68U hooked up fine. Mesh-config, wired together. My internet works via a second ethernet WAN - and I suspect this maybe causing my issue? (Good old Australian NBN over HFC doesn't require the 'modem'). Essentially I...
